Poor Winn.
Unfortunately for him, tragic childhoods are a way of the world for members of a superhero series.
We knew his father was in prison for murder, but until Supergirl Season 3 Episode 14, we didn't know why his mom wasn't in his life.
It's hard to blame him for being skeptical when she showed up after all these years. His father wasn't even in the ground yet when she waltzed in out of the blue at his funeral.
Who wouldn't be skeptical in that scenario?
I would sure find it hard to trust a woman I barely knew, especially moments after her ex-husband's casket just exploded in the middle of the cemetery.
Yet, despite that fact, she was welcomed into the DEO.

You guys remember it's that super-secret government organization that just about anyone can walk right into, including pizza delivery men.
But sure, let's go ahead and trust this woman who just showed up out of nowhere with all of our fancy equipment, and let her walk off on her own, unescorted, where she can grab a gun and head outside without anyone stopping her.
At least they appear to recognize the absurdity of all of this.
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it's like a top secret government facility in here.
Winn Permalink: I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it's like a top secret government facility in here. Added: April 16, 2018 They do remember the whole situation with Jeremiah that nearly tore this tight-knit family apart, right? Are they ever going to learn not to be quite so trusting?
Okay, so in this case at least, Mary turned out to be legit, which is great news for Winn. Still, it's hard not to poke holes in her story. I believe that she stayed away out of fear for her son's life, but in all that time that the Toyman was in prison, she never even risked a letter?
She's pretty smart, so you would think she could have found some way to send a card or encrypted email just to stay in touch. If the Toyman's apprentice was the only one keeping tabs on her, chances are she would have gotten away with it. But, I get that to her it probably wasn't worth the risk.
It just sucks how much time the two of them lost.
Jeremy Jordan killed it with his performance.
Seriously, I had chills watching him confront Mary, holding back tears and just barely keeping it together. It was incredibly emotional, and it's been quite awhile since we've had a Winn-centric story in which he's been able to show off more than his singing voice and comedic timing. We need more of this!
When I lay in bed at night, staring up at the ceiling unable to sleep, I'm not wondering why dad finally, suddenly snapped. No, it doesn't haunt me. What haunts me is you. You left me when I needed you the most with no explanation, no ..

Ian Somerhalder may be done with The Vampire Diaries, but he's not leaving the world of vampires quite yet.
Per THR, the actor has signed up to appear in V-Wars, a brand new drama based on the IDW novel of the same name.
It has landed a 10-episode, straight-to-series order at Netflix.
V-Wars focuses on Dr. Luther Swann (Somerhalder), who finds himself in a world of horror and uncertainty when a virus transforms his best friend into a vampire who feeds on the human race.
With the disease spreading at an alarming rate, Swann has to keep his wits about him in this new world as he tries to find a way to save the world before it's too late.

However, his friend becomes a leader of some of the vampires, and that sounds like something that will complicate matters.
It sounds like an intriguing concept for sure, but it seems like a bizarre career choice for Somerhalder. I get that he's not a vampire, but I thought he would veer away from supernatural roles for a while.
The V-Wars novels are written by Jonathan Maberry, and have amassed a strong following.
"We could not have dreamed of a better choice than Ian Somerhalder to bring his keen understanding of this genre from his years of starring in The Vampire Diaries to lead the cast of V-Wars as Dr. Luther Swann and to be a creative force on this series, as well as to serve as a director this season," said David Ozer, President, IDW Entertainment.
"We are thrilled to partner with Netflix to bring the multifaceted world that Jonathan Maberry created to audiences worldwide."
Somerhalder's casting comes just one year after he wrapped an eight-year run on The CW's The Vampire Diaries. He played Damon Salvatore.

Will Kirkman be removed from office?!
Tom has been on a downslide since the loss of his wife, but it's getting to a point where there are doubts as to whether or not he can run the country.
He has been running on emotion more than ever, and it hasn't led to the best results.
On Designated Survivor Season 2 Episode 18, there are whispers of invoking the 25th Amendment.
Kirkman's approval ratings have been low, and there have been rumors that morale is low among most of his staff members.
The Kirkman White House just got a new Vice President, and they're certainly considering putting her to use. Can you imagine a President Darby?

You might have to before the hour is through.
At the rate Tom has been going, it's certainly plausible.
The White House Staff may have been able to positively spin Kirkman's choice to repeatedly strike Kunami and strong arm the emir into giving up his position, but now he has another problem on his hands.

Someone leaked the notes belonging to Tom's therapist for all the country to see, and now the people are wondering if Kirkman is fit to run the country.
The worst part is only a few people knew he was seeing a therapist, so one of his trusted colleagues may be responsible for the leak.
How many leaks can one White House have?
Better yet, does this tie into the ongoing hacker plot?

The best news of all is the legendary Michael J. Fox is joining the show for the rest of the season, and he's coming to raise hell and challenge Kirkman like he hasn't be challenged before.

Friends, I'm immensely relieved to report that, finally, Franco's ordeal is over. Or mostly is, at least.
Following last Friday's cliffhanger, the Franco/Jim Harvey confrontation was resolved within the first two episodes of this week.
As expected, the showdown between Franco and Jim confirmed what we'd all long expected: Jim was a sexual predator, and he'd abused Franco as a kid.
Obviously, this is a heartbreaking and awful reveal. However, I still think the writers dragged it out far past the point of interest. It felt like this story was never going to end after a while.
That said, once it did end, it ended really well.
I mentioned in last week's review that I foresaw Franco killing Harvey, condemning us all to a drawn out murder trial in which Franco would inevitably be let off the hook when the dead man's past crimes were revealed.
Amazingly, we were spared all that.
View Slideshow: 14 TV Vampires Who Really Don't Suck Instead of Franco offing Jim, Drew did the honors, in defense of his former foster brother.
Roger Howarth is extremely talented – there's no denying that. His performance during the confrontation sequence at his art studio and with Kevin afterwards was stunning, raw, and emotional.
Even if you don't care for Franco, I can't imagine you didn't feel for the guy, even a little.

I was pleasantly surprised at the way the confrontation unfolded. Rather than killing him immediately, Franco had the wherewithal to force Jim to pen a full confession, getting the child abuser to list the other kids he had preyed upon.
That was smart and selfless, as it would undoubtedly help Jim's other victims heal.
The writers also managed to write Jim's death as an inevitability by having him overpower Franco and attempt to kill him. Drew intervening by shooting Jim was a clear case of defense.
Hilariously, Drew was cleared of the crime so quickly I don't even recall seeing it happen on screen.
Of course, the story isn't exactly over just because Jim is dead. It seems that, understandably, Franco will be working through his trauma with Kevin. For however long it is until Kevin – like Laura and Scott – is given the boot. (Writers: Please do not get rid of Kevin!)
It's understandable that Franco would fear his own abuse might have made him more likely to abuse kids. But I can't say I didn't groan a little bit when Franco declined Liz's offer to go home.
I don't mind Franco as a character, and I don't particularly mind Friz. I thought, in the early stages, they had great, angsty build-up. But now, they're completely flat, and this story they're involved in is entirely unengaging.
I'm not sure where Franco and Friz can go from here. But the writers better work to revive them, stat.
